Using Rapid Clozapine Blood Levels to Improve Patient Management

Clozapine is the only evidence-based antipsychotic option for treatment-resistant schizophrenia and patients with schizophrenia and suicidality. However, using it demands regular monitoring of a patients' clozapine blood level. The faculty will discuss how a rapid clozapine blood level can improve managing patients' care and how to interpret values against the patient's response and tolerability. Professor Taylor will share his 30 years of experience working with clozapine, implementing a rapid clozapine blood test and blood level guidance that he provides within the South London and Maudsley Trust.
 
An open microphone session will follow the presentations.

Forging a New Path: Targeting Muscarinic Receptor Circuits in Schizophrenia

Currently approved drugs for schizophrenia have proven useful; however, unmet medical needs still exist for this patient population. This program will shed light on an evolving class of investigational therapeutics that have shown great promise in schizophrenia by targeting muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. 

Learning Objectives

  1. Illustrate the evolving understanding of the psychopharmacology of schizophrenia with respect to muscarinic receptor–based mechanisms of action
  2. Introduce muscarinic receptor–modulating therapeutics currently under investigation for use in schizophrenia with a focus on muscarinic agonists
  3. Demonstrate how modulating muscarinic receptor activity may play a role in treating schizophrenia
